    Is anybody able to comment on this guitar? I am looking for an electric guitar for my 13 year old daughter. She is a beginner on electric guitar, but plays some other stringed instruments well so is fairly musical.
    TIA

    Well that is my son sorted this Christmas.

    He is 12 and has already asked for an Electric guitar but I was unwilling to go for an expensive one.

    My 6 year old daughter has also asked for a Violin and there is a 1/2 size one on Ebuyer for less than £25.00 inc vat.

    The 2 together with supersaver postage came to under £82.00.

    Oh my. I have now started my Christmas shopping. Heeeelllllpppppp.

    Thanks lisaleea for this. Both of these together worked out cheaper than the cheapest Electric guitar I have seen in Tesco.com

    Now I just need to find a keyboard for my 10 year old and they will be happy. Me I will need earplugs.
    Its better to be late in this life than early in the next one.

    It would be good for a beginner. It's not that good an amp, but that means she can't play loudly!

    But if she only has small hands she might struggle.

    My son is nine and has a very similar one and he copes fine with it. Has definately encouraged him to keep on playing. As for the amp i think the smaller the better! :T (until a few more lessons anyway!)

    Yea this is good value for a kids present.
    Ebuyer can be unreliable so always check stock availability for added reasurance.
    Theres a guy at my local car boot who sells these for £95!

    I have ordered one, so hope daughter likes it.
    Found the same one on ebay at a buy it now prices of £69.99 plus £12 p&p. So this worked out £23 cheaper with vat and postage.

    on the violin, can't you move the chin rest and re-arrange the strings?

    I've not played for a good long time now... I'm so scared of breaking my violin, it's probably close (or over) a century old now...
